Whitney Houston’s Cause of Death Announced

The Los Angeles coroner’s office has confirmed Whitney Houston’s official cause of death. No one is surprised that cocaine bears part of the blame, but drowning will go down as culprit on her death certificate.

Craig Harvey, the L.A. County Coroner’s chief, also revealed that Whitney had atherosclerotic heart disease. The ailment is a build-up of plaque that narrows the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.

Daniel Radcliffe Battles Alcohol Problem with His Girlfriend

Daniel Radcliffe revealed that the pressures of being a child star nearly lured him into a drinking problem. He told GQ that he fell in love with the sweet nectar to have a good time because being one of the richest kids ever wasn’t fun enough.

Fortunately, for those of us who would sell our grandmothers to take a picture with DanRad while dressed as Bellatrix and have him autograph our underwear, he was able to realize his alcohol problem before it became his downfall. (Much like one of his costars who is now in jail and left out of the final film. Click HERE to see what Harry Potter alumni had a pot farm…)

Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe Caught Smoking Pot – Photo

daniel-radcliffe-smoking-pot-photo-1

Britain’s Daily Mail has ran with a story of Daniel Radcliffe smoking pot. The Harry Potter star was claimed to be photographed smoking pot at a soiree. A fellow party patron by the name of WADIA TAZI snapped photos of Radcliffe with what appeared to be a joint in his mouth.

“Dopey Daniel, 20, even wandered about the house-warming bash, babbling to other party-goers: “I love weed.” And the star – who has spoken about shunning drugs – was so out of it he let a girl scrawl all over his face with a pen.

Guest Wadia Tazi, 26, also at the London party, said: “He looked spaced out and didn’t look like he knew what was going on. Daniel was laughing and seemed to find it funny. But he didn’t really look like he knew what was going on. Most of the beer had already gone and people were tucking into pizzas.

“Daniel looked spaced out and away with the fairies. He didn’t want us to recognise him. When I said he looked like that actor in Lord of the Rings [Elijah Wood], he got a bit funny and said, ‘No, that’s not me’. He was really friendly and talking about his dad a bit. Then he pulled out a huge joint and lit up. Daniel said he loved it. He seemed happy that neither of us knew who he was.At one point a girl dragged him away, saying, ‘Come on Daniel, follow me. You don’t trust me, do you?’ She pulled him into the toilet and started drawing a huge comedy beard on his face.”

Reps for Daniel have already fired back denying the marijuana allegations.

Via PopEater:

“We categorically deny the allegations regarding Daniel Radcliffe published in today’s Daily Mirror. Daniel does smoke the occasional roll-up cigarette, but he was not doing anything more than this. We are considering our position and will be taking all necessary action in relation to such allegations.”

The Harry Potter actor isn’t the only cast member to face drug allegations. Jamie Waylett was arrested after being caught with cocaine and a pot farm (click HERE to see those photos and read the complete story). I hope Wadia enjoyed her 10 seconds of fame. I have a feeling she is about to be bent over. ALWAYS use an alias when selling out your friends for some scratch. Amateur. It should read, “Susie Von Thunderwhore saw Daniel Radcliffe Smoking Weed blah, blah, blah.” Or if it was me spilling the beans, “Anabell Beaverhausen witnessed Radcliffe smoking a joint and tell her how thin she looked today.”

Dustin Diamond Spills Some Not-So-Scandalous ‘Saved By The Bell’ Secrets

dustin-diamon-behind-the-bell

Dustin Diamond, best known as Screech from “Saved by the Bell,” is letting some more lies, err I mean details, slip from his yet-to-be released tell-all book about things that he thinks actually happened but wasn’t around to witness. Diamond claims he could smell a certain kind of smoke coming out of the cracks to his castmates’ dressing room doors. Diamond also says his co-stars frequently hooked up off-camera as well as on it.

Per Us:

“If Kelly [Tiffani Thiessen] was interested in Slater [Mario Lopez] one week, then backstage there was a lot going between them in Mario [Lopez]‘s room,” he tells the new Us Weekly. “Then, if Jessie [Elizabeth Berkley] kisses Zack, then you know Elizabeth Berkley is going in Mark-Paul’s room.”

I highly doubt this is true, but if it were then good for them! I’d follow Zack or Slater to their dressing rooms anyday! What girl in the right mind wouldn’t? His next set of claims take aim at costar Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Bayside High hunk Zack Morris, began using steroids before production started on the “Saved by the Bell: The College Years” spinoff.

“He suddenly exploded with manliness, loading 25 pounds of muscle on his once-scrawny frame in, oh, about a month,” says Diamond.

Zack using steroids? I think that claim would be better believed if it were Slater being accused. And scrawny? Come on Dustin, really? Gosselaar, who says the book is nothing but lies and wanted Diamond banned from the Saved By the Bell reunion in August, dismissed his new claims.

“We weren’t in rehab and Mr. Belding wasn’t my crack dealer,” says Gosselaar.

He further alleges that Lark Voorhies, who played Lisa Turtle, all of a sudden “didn’t want to be near men.” Diamond took that to mean she was in an abusive relationship. Remember, he has no idea if this is true though. The name dropping doesn’t stop there! He also felt the need to add that Fred Savage is “a douche nozzle,” Neil Patrick Harris “was an a–hole,” Tori Spelling had “negative [size] boobs,” and Denise Richards was “just another notch on Mario’s bedpost.” Diamond also has come out with other so-called juicy tidbits, including how he says Thiessen, who played Kelly Kapowski, used guys to further her career, how Thiessen struggled with her weight, and how Mario Lopez was a serial womanizer who “hit on every costar.”

So all of this drug use and hooking up Screech alleges, none of it he actually saw with his own actual eyes. What a shocker. Based on these snippets, Diamonds claims are neither scandalous nor interesting. Yawn. I’ll wait the year until the book becomes available at the dollar store to pick up and read for a good laugh.

Whitney Houston Opens Up About Bobby Brown; The Drugs, Abuse, And Spitting In Her Face

In what Oprah Winfrey is calling “the best interview of I’ve ever done,” Whitney Houston has revealed that she suffered years of abuse and drug addiction during her marriage to Bobby Brown. The R&B diva revealed that her ex-husband was emotionally abusive and went so far as to spit in her face when they were together.

Per OMG Yahoo:

“He spit on me. Actually spit on me. And my daughter was coming down the stairs and she saw that,” Houston told the daytime talk show host during the 24th-season premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show on Monday. “He had such a hate in his eyes for me.” Houston, 46, explained that following the incident, Brown pushed her against the wall and things got bloody. “I took the phone and I hit him over the head with it. And he just fell out on the floor,” she said.

I personally think he got off easy only being hit with a telephone after that disgusting act! Houston also tells Winfrey that Brown slapped her once, and she retaliated by knocking him in the head three times. Whitney admits that probably the worst drug she was addict to was him, as she wouldn’t do anything without him, including actual drugs. But he didn’t have the same affections for her as she recalls that their marriage got so bad that Bobby “was cutting her head off pictures and painting evil eyes on their bedroom walls with spray paint.” Um yea, thats a little too disturbing for my pleasure. She claims the core of their problems was the jealousy that Bobby harbored for Whitney’s success, as his career was headed downhill. So much so that she had to downplay her own success just to make him feel better.

She goes on to admit that the couple developed a love for the nose candy drug shortly after Houston’s success in the film ‘The Bodyguard’ way back in 1992. After that, she pretty much became a coked-out constantly and stopped thinking about her career all together. Instead blew hundreds of thousands of dollars on drugs. Things then became a little bit crazier after a seven-month long period of time that she spent watching TV and living in her pajamas. Houston says that she and Brown started smoking rock cocaine to combat the affect of the marijuana they were smoking.

Per OMG Yahoo:

“We were lacing our marijuana with [rock cocaine],” Houston admitted. “It’s almost like heroin and cocaine speedballing, but you level it off with the marijuana, okay?”

She credits her mother, Cissy Houston, for saving her life by bringing sheriff’s over to her house with a court injunction in an attempt to stage an intervention and forcing her into rehab, determined not to lose her daughter to the drugs. But thats not the end of the horror that happened throughout their relationship. She goes on to describe more about the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at the hands of Brown, describing him to be her drug of choice.

Per OMG Yahoo:

“[He]was very much the father, he was very much the man. He was very much in control. I liked that. When he said something, I listened. I was very interested in having someone have that kind of control over me. It was refreshing.” She called Brown her “drug,” saying: “I didn’t do anything without him. I wasn’t getting high by myself. It was me and him together. We were partners.”

Thankfully, the couple went their separate ways and divorced in 2007. Whitney and Bobby have one daughter together named Bobby Kristina, who Whitney has custody of. Houston said that she has been honest with her daughter about her drug use and even took her to an Atlanta drug rehab for mothers and daughters. She is now riding the comeback train, as her newest album debuted at number one on the Billboard charts last week. Good luck to you Whitney!

Harry Potter Actor Josh Herdman Caught Smoking Pot

josh-herdman-caught-smoking-pot-1

Dang, these “Harry Potter” actors sure like to smoke, and I’m not just talking about cigarettes! The latest actor, and the latest series actor, to be caught redhanded smoking pot is Josh Herdman, who plays Slytherin House bully Gregory Goyle in the movies. Pictures have surfaced of Herdman smoking what appears to be a ten inch joint while on vacation in Amsterdam. But don’t get your tighty whities in a bunch just yet — Smoking pot in Amsterdam is legal! Betcha the Harry Potter Big-Wigs are just loving this!

Per The Sun:

A pal told The Sun: “Josh sees himself as one of the boys. He’ll join in with whatever anyone’s doing – but some fans might be shocked.”

This comes on the heel of another fellow Harry Potter actor being busted with weed. Actor Jamie Waylett, who plays Draco Malfoy’s henchman Vincent Crabbe, was sentenced to 120 hours of community service in July for growing marijuana after police found 10 plants growing in his mother’s London home.

What would Dumbledore say? I guess maybe its time to consider changing the series name to “Harry Potheads.”

Megan Fox Demands Pot to be Legalized NOW

After showing up at the MTV Movie Awards doing her best impression of an oil slick, “Transformers” actress Megan Fox is now joining the ranks of other Hollywood types by declaring her love for marijuana.

megan-fox-greasy-hair-mtv-movie-awards-2009

While doing an interview for British GQ Magazine, Fox admitted her adoration for the drug and her wish for its potential legalization.

Via StyleCrave:

“I can’t tell you how much bulls**t I’ve been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it’s this crazy, hippy, f**ked-up thing to do. And it’s not. I hope they legalize it. And when they do, I’ll be the first person in line to buy my pack of joints.”

You’re right Megan. It’s not a hippy-thing to do, it’s more of a “Someone who thinks weed will be sold in packs,” kind of thing to do.

Fox however, will not have to worry about her remarks offending everyone. Celebstoner will now likely add her going to the ranks of Top Celebstoners along side Seth Rogan, Cheech Marin and Kristen Stewart.

Kristen Stewart Smoking Pot … Again – Photos

Kristen Stewart’s people have some more damage control to take care of this week. Not that she seems to care.

As we have reported here at Hollywood Dame several times (as in exhibit A – Kristen Stewart smoking a bowl of weed on her front porch and exhibit B Stewart in a pot leaf bikini), “Twilight” starlet Kristen Stewart likes to smoke pot down often in broad daylight with plenty of witnesses and even more paparazzi around to snap pics of her.

Here she is, having dinner with co-star Robert Pattinson at a restaurant outside Monteplaciano, Italy this weekend. For dinner? Pasta. Desert? A doobie. KStew is in town with Sparklepants wrapping up the final shots of “New Moon” due out November 20, 2009. You can catch a sneak peek of the film at this Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards.

It was reported by multiple gossipers that Kristen smoked down often while on the Vancouver set of the film (British Columbia law allows smoking marijuana in designated areas). However, she managed to keep from being photographed on those supposed occasions.

Before you start the hate mailing Twi-Hards, please note that Sparklepants was a good boy and wasn’t smoking pot with his costar.

Is Kristen trying to start a war with one of her Hollywood rivals? Evil Beet debunks the rumor. Cick HERE for more on that…

Britney Spears Walks Off Stage During Concert: No Weed Please!

Oh what a diva she is! Britney Spears was playing a show in Vancouver on her “Circus” tour when she stopped three songs in and walked off stage due to the heavy pot smoke drifting in from the crowd. The concert came to a standstill, including lights off, for about 20 minutes until an announcement was made about the smoke being unsafe for Britney and her crew.

Via People:

“The building is awfully smoky. It is uncomfortable for everyone on stage, including Ms. Spears. Please extinguish all cigarettes – this is a non-smoking building, and the show will resume when the smoke on the stage is cleared.”

About 40 minutes after the announcement, Spears returned to the stage and continued on with the concert, only to leave the set for a short time a few minutes later. The interruption was met by “boos” from the crowd and left the fans really upset. After the concert, an apologetic statement was posted on Spears official website.

Per BritneySpears.com:

“We want to apologize to all the fans who attended our Vancouver show tonight for the brief pause in Britney’s set. Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue.”

After the final encore, as Spears ran off the stage she told the audience, “Thanks Vancouver. You were wonderful. Drive safe. Don’t smoke weed!” Haha! Seems like a little bit of the old Crazy-Britney is shining through!
